Rental Business?
Could a renter sue you?
Don't Let Lightning Strike
If a renter gets injured, keep the liability from spreading to your personal assets. Your homeowner’s insurance may not cover the accident. Undisclosed commercial activity could be disclaimed by your insurance, especially if it is a high dollar amount. Do you have a lawsuit firedoor?

Retiring?
Collecting Social Security?
Second Act Entrepreneurs
If you are retired or about to retire, and starting a business or consulting for your former company, you should know the impact on your Social Security. If you’ve never been in business before get a primer on retirement, intellectual property rights, non-competes, and all the basic information you need to avoid the pitfalls.

I Retired from Another Job...
People at the traditional retirement age have unique concerns. Can I collect Social Security? Will starting a new business affect my pension? Can I be sued as a consultant and risk the loss of my house or personal assets? If you are starting your own business for the first time as a second career, or monetized hobby, or consultant for your former corporate employer, you should find out the answers to these questions.

I Just Need an LLC or Corporation...
Yes, online corp formation services will get you an LLC or Corporation cheap. We know new businesses need to control costs. That’s why we offer LLC and Corporation services at a low price also. The difference is, we are here, in the business community with you. We have owned and run businesses here. Our goal is to be your estate planning lawyer. That means we want to form a long mutually beneficial relationship – not just grab a few transactional fees and go on our way.

I Have Partners or Co-Owners...
When a business has more than one owner, you need an agreement, in writing. What happens if one owner gets divorced? Or becomes disabled? Or simply wants to retire? While things are beginning or going well, and relationships are stable that is the time to draft an operating agreement. Avoid costly litigation or being forced to account to your partner’s ex-spouse or figure out how to compensate a retiring or disabled co-owner. Decide how to leave your business to your children.
